motivational tool


Image039Originally uploaded by danmccredden.

Yesterday I had to get up early to take part in a fun run on a sunny Melbourne morning along the yarra. Phil stayed up after I went to bed and was asleep when I left, but I found this note on my running gear when I woke up.

    Does Phil really want you to get shot climing out of a trench in Turkey?

    I know!! At about the 6km mark, my thoughts were pretty similar. He wanted me to die, clearly.

    It is a quote from the movie Gallipoli - one of the lead characters is a runner and the first scene of the movie shows his coach preparing for a race - What are your legs? Steel springs. And what do they do? Pull me down the track. etc.

    At the end of the movie when they do the suicidal run over the top of the trenches he has the same conversation with himself.

    And no, Greg, you may not be part of the cool gang.

    Uncle: What are your legs?

    Archie: Steel Springs.

    U: What are they going to do?

    A: Hurl me down the Track.

    U: How fast can you run?

    A: As fast as a leopard.

    U: How fast are you going to run?

    A: As fast as a leopard.

    U: Well lets see you do it!

    Maybe it’s a mis-spelt command… He’s constructing something in the shed and is short 1/2 doz springs, and can’t afford them due to his Poverty Theology. Therefore, you are to go and ’ste(a)l springs’.

    See - it’s all about interpretation and context…
